Perfect fit for perfect sound and perfect bass.

Performance

Who better to design the perfect earphones than the world's leading hearing systems manufacturer in Switzerland - Phonak. Their new Audéo Perfect Fit Earphones with Perfect Bass are the result of decades of experience in hearing solutions.

Phonak's roots in sate-of-the-art hearing aids are clear the moment you try the Audéo earphones on, with the wires running up, over and behind your ear, the unit sits snug inside your ear and canal - much like a hearing aid. With 3 interchangeable silicone ear pieces you can't help but find the perfect fit giving you hours of comfortable use while blocking out up to 23 decibels of external noise.

Phonak's new Perfect Bass technology boost low frequencies to provide cleaner punchier bass at lower levels while still maintaining the crisp sound their previous model produced. So small and light you wouldn't know you packed them (just 14g), they are suited to any music lover that doesn't mind being shut off from the ambience of the outside world for the sake of incredibly clear music.

As their core business is resolving hearing problems it's great to see they are also looking at preventative measures for a world intent on deafening themselves. In fact, experts have predicted 1 in ten 30-year-olds will be sporting a hearing aid by 2020 simply because of the nations obsession with earphones and portable music.

While their are now countless makes and models of similar earphones available at a fraction of the price, few are made by hearing experts with a 2 year warranty.

Verdict

The in-ear ergonomic fit make the Audéo Perfect Bass a delight to wear for almost any activity. With lower volumes failing to compromise the excellent bass-rich sound quality you can ask yourself two questions - What's your hearing worth? AND What's great sound worth? About £68 or £85 if you fancy a built-in microphone for the phone. To better understand what wearing these earphones are like simply stick your fingers in your ears - just don't hum along or eat crisps or you'll drown out the music of your new internal world.
